Thank you very much jnaut! I am glad you were happy with the kit! Great work on the install!

That is awesome news! The vortech on my C6 pulled hard down low too, so I know its possible, I just never cared for the 350z setup with them.

Sounds Great thanks!

anybody know if Weiboys car is AT or MT?

MT

I'm manual!

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these kits :)

FRA-GE-LE. Must be Italian.

got ine today also and almost finished with the install

niiice, join the party!

Shop or DIY?

shop. i wanted to dimyself but was worried about warrenty

saw the black 370z stillen sc at beshoff infiniti today from josh...loooks super sick..

anybody knows what temperature our engines should be at when Supercharged?

my tech checked the temp while idling and it was at 230. normal or not.

I would expect you want similar temps to when you're not supercharged. The rest of the engine doesn't become more temp tolerant when you bolt on a supercharger.

On a side note, I saw a G37 with the SC kit installed at Fields Infinity on the north side of Chicago yesterday. The kit itself looks awesome in person, great build quality, and sounds nice at idle. Not terribly noticeable when just puttering at idle. I didn't dare take a ride in the car since that would just lead to me having supercharger fever. Once you go SC, you never go back :)

Man Im dying for a SC and I havent even riden one. Im already used to the power of the Z and want more.

i was reading somewhere on here stating our cars runs alot better with the oil temp between 190~200. mines is 230 on idling and i would think it will go up alot higher once you get into boost. i'm buying a oil cooler tomorrow. screw that, better be safe than sorry!

[QUOTE=Zsteve;585422]We will be installing a Stillen SC in the next few weeks, and I'm sure the owner won't mind giving you a ride :D

230 at idle???? thats very high. I haven't broken 220 since I got the SC installed. Normally runs at 200 deg when I'm driving normally. I do have a giant oil cooler though, I think you should too.

[QUOTE=FailsafePerf;585451]who's Z are you adding it on too? i must see this!

yeah, i noticed that my engine is running alot hotter after the SC. i'm looking for a good oil cooler right now. any recommendations? i'm not sure if i can use the Stillen one since my heat exchanger is mounted on the left side right behind the power steering. the GTM or Z1 looks promising.

You also have some issues with your VVEL that could be increasing heat. But an oil cooler is HIGHLY recommended.

BTW either STILLEN Street or Race Cooler will work with the Supercharger.. Of course we would ensure it fits. :)

hey Josh, i'm more than happy to pick up your kit but here's the problem. my heat exchanger is mounted on the passenger side so i'll need way longer SS hoses for it to reach the oil cooler because i'm gonna have to mount it on the driver side. i went through your installation manual and it states it should be mounted on the passenger side. i won't be able to do that. here's a pic of what i'm talking about.

how many row is your cooler?

We have a 19-row and a 25-row kit, and I can get you some details on mounting the cooler to work in conjunction with the heat exchanger.

[QUOTE=FailsafePerf;585451]
I think that would be WELL worth the drive up 44 to see this one.. uggg, me wants bad! :driving:

[QUOTE=Tronchaser;585971]I agree, i want to know who car it is going on

sure, but i would really want to mount that cooler on the passenger side to avoid relocating the oem power steering cooler. is it possible?

Just pulled the trigger on the stillen supercharger along with STILLEN High Performance Clutch / Aluminum Flywheel Combo, stillen race version oil cooler and b&m short throw shifter. Looking to upgade brakes in the future am i missing anything?

Gauges?

extra rear tires

Oh yeah, I'm gonna need some of those soon.. ^ good suggestion.

wider rubber too

This is for all the guys in NC. My SC will be installed on the 28th of June at Pinehurst Nissan. If you want to stop in to see how it is going I am sure the folks there will not mind.

RCZ,
I know you had a lot of things done to your car before you got your SC installed, did you have to take anything out for your SC to fit/work right? like your intake?

Thanks

Intakes had to go because the SC kit has its own intake system. Other than that, nothing had to be changed or replaced.

Do you have an after market exhaust?

Stillen cbe, berk hfc

Hey guys im a newbie and was wanting to find out with the stillen supercharger and cbe what will the 370z do 0-60???? i am looking at trading in the tacoma right now on an is-f and think that this might be a better choice.... please help if you know.. and if any of you guys know a really really good shop to install these in florida please name it so I can get in touch with them ..

ben

I feel wider tires do not help.(305's) I still can't keep traction from 1st-3rd. Be prepared to do a lot of feathering...lol

I have an ISF and an NA 370z. Some quick input... The ISF is a very different car given 4 doors and 4 seats. The ride is slightly stiffer on the ISF than a 370z with stock suspension. The ISF has a higher quality interior but the 370z is fine. The ISF prob has more cache with folks outside of your select friends that tune cars vs a 370Z with SC. ISF accelerates like a mother and is actually pretty fun to drive on a track to, but the SC 370Z will beat it. One downside, the ISF feels like a much bigger car. Another might be looks - but that's up to you. Overall, for a DD, I'd probably get the ISF, esp if you carry passengers. For a track or occasional track car, the 370Z.

OK, so I should have taken a picture, but pulling out the i-phone on the runway when you are lined up for takeoff is kind of frowned upon at my airline, but I laid over at John Wayne saturday night. I left Sunday morning and as we taxied into position, I could see a big red 'Stillen' on the building on the right side of the runway. I will get a pic next time from the cockpit, as thats pretty damn cool, and I'm going to SNA a couple times in July.

That being said, I was all ready to sell my 370 and get the new 25th anniv. M3, of which they are only making 30. I figured if I sold the Z I would only have to finance 50k, and its an extremely limited production. I might have even kept the Z, bought the M and resold it. But, they were only taking orders over the phone at 1130 today and I was in the air, so........ This supercharger is looking better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I am screwed) I went to Zdayz last year Zless for the first time, had a 240Z for a few years after the 350, saw the 370 in the flesh for the first time and bought mine the day after I came home. Its only a matter of time for the SC, as its in my mind, and there is no reversing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got to figure out when! (and get a test drive)
